Re: [FRIAM] Twitter: worth the effort!

Why, because it offers you twice-indirected stories? I think that is less an argument why it is 'worth the effort', and more an argument for why it allows you not to put in the effort. You could just as easily browse Reddit and have seen the screencapped comment
